As you know last week I was with my Dad who's going through some medical stuff and suffering from some dementia and it's been so hard and anyway he was given a trial treatment one morning and that night he felt so good, he felt so much like his old self -- one that neither my Mum nor I have seen in a couple of years -- that he sang.

It is a blessing, though it feels far from it at times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
